http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59272 --- Comment #3 from Hilgert <hilgert@mail.ru> --- Latest version from wine-hq repository I apologize for the problem description. Perhaps Claude misinterpreted the trace and misdiagnosed it. The issue might not be with subdirectories at all. I tried running some ancient software. Attached is the trace: 3685.092:0020:0024:Call KERNEL32.GetPrivateProfileStringA(005bedb0 "OBD",0286dbb4 "PORT",0286dbbc "COM1",005bed9c,00000014,005bedc4 "c:\\bmw\\ediabas\\bin\\OBD.INI") ret=02862920 3685.092:0020:0024:trace:profile:GetPrivateProfileStringW L"OBD",L"PORT",L"COM1",0061B1F0,20,L"c:\\bmw\\ediabas\\bin\\OBD.INI" 3685.098:0020:0024:Call KERNEL32.CreateFileA(0286d944 "COM33",c0000000,00000000,00000000,00000003,00000000,00000000) ret=0286189b 3685.098:0020:0024:Call ntdll.RtlInitAnsiString(005beee0,0286d944 "COM33") ret=7b6442a2 3685.098:0020:0024:trace:file:CreateFileW L"COM33" GENERIC_READ GENERIC_WRITE creation 3 attributes 0x0 3685.098:0020:0024:Call ntdll.RtlDosPathNameToNtPathName_U(7ffc2c00 L"COM33",005beee8,00000000,00000000) ret=7b5e1450 3685.098:0020:0024:trace:file:RtlDosPathNameToNtPathName_U_WithStatus (L"COM33",005BEEE8,00000000,00000000) 3685.098:0020:0024:trace:file:RtlGetFullPathName_U (L"COM33" 520 005BEC2C 00000000) 3685.098:0020:0024:trace:file:RtlGetFullPathName_UEx (L"COM33" 520 005BEC2C 00000000 00000000) 3685.098:0020:0024:trace:file:NtCreateFile handle=0x5beee4 access=c0100080 name=L"\\??\\C:\\BMW\\EC-APPS\\INPA\\BIN\\COM33" objattr=00000040 root=(nil) sec=(nil) io=0x5beef0 alloc_size=(nil) attr=00000000 sharing=00000000 disp=1 options=00000060 ea=(nil).0x00000000 3685.098:0020:0024:trace:file:get_nt_and_unix_names L"\\??\\C:\\BMW\\EC-APPS\\INPA\\BIN\\COM33" -> ret c0000034 3685.098:0020:0024:warn:file:NtCreateFile L"\\??\\C:\\BMW\\EC-APPS\\INPA\\BIN\\COM33" not found (c0000034) 3685.098:0020:0024:warn:file:CreateFileW Unable to create file L"COM33" (status c0000034) 3685.284:0020:0024:trace:imm:imm_coinit_thread implicit COM initialization -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
